Department of State Travel Advisories

Travel warnings are issued when the State Department recommends that Americans avoid certain countries. The countries listed on this website are currently on that list. In addition to this list, the State Department issues Consular Information Sheets for every country of the world with information on such matters as the health conditions, crime, unusual currency or entry requirements, any areas of instability, and the location of the nearest U.S. embassy orconsulate in the subject country. http://travel.state.gov/travel/warnings_current.html
